BALTIMORE, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ-GS: TROW), a global investment management firm, announced today the launch of its first thematic actively managed exchange-traded fund, T. Rowe Price Technology ETF (Ticker: TTEQ).

T. Rowe Price Technology ETF (Ticker: TTEQ)

Seeks to provide long-term capital growth, investing at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies it expects to generate a majority of their revenue from technology or those whose competitive edge and/or market share are largely based on their technology capabilities.
Net expense ratio is 0.63%

T. Rowe Price introduced its first active ETFs in August 2020, and today's launch expands the firm's active ETF lineup to 17, including five semi-transparent ETFs, six transparent fixed income ETFs and six transparent equity ETFs. The active ETFs complement the firm's traditional mutual fund offerings and deliver key features associated with ETFs that some investors may prefer, such as tax efficiency, more competitive expense ratios, and the flexibility to buy and sell shares throughout the trading day.
